Built in 1926, the Casa Caprona (also known as the Markert Apartments) is a historic building in Fort Pierce, Florida, USA.[2] It is located at 2605 St. Lucie Boulevard. The complex was designed in the Mediterranean Revival style by architects Arthur Beck and J.K. Shinn,[citation needed] and was built by T.H. Markenthaler and T.H. Kertshner.[3] For a period of time the complex housed people training in the Navy's underwater demolition group during WWII.[4] The complex was envisioned as the centerpiece for the proposed winter community of San Lucie Plaza. However, due to the collapse of the Florida land boom, the project failed.[2]

After a collaborative effort from the Casa Carpona condominium association[5] the property was named a landmark in 1984.[6] On June 2, 1984, it was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.
